Best Answer

Not needing to find refine and enrich uranium, and not having spent fuel containing large quantities of long lived radioactive fission products. On the other hand tritium has to be made as one component of the fusion fuel, and this is dangerous stuff to handle. The engineering aspects of a fusion plant have hardly been defined as yet, and it may be more difficult than hoped at present. Anyway it is many years off, fifty years at least, before such a plant will be in operation.

What is the Stars fusion?

Atomic fusion is the process by which elements which are brought into intimate contact, will undergo fusion, and will form a heavier element, and will emit energy in the process. Much of this released energy is the from the 'binding energy' of the atom.
